Publisher's summary

How do people come to Jesus in today's postmodern culture? Not by a mechanical, linear process of cookie-cutter conversions. Nor by a nebulous spiritual wandering that never culminates in decision and commitment. Over the last decade, Don Everts and Doug Schaupp have listened to the stories of 2,000 postmodern people who have come to follow Jesus. While their stories are diverse and varied, certain common themes emerge. Postmodern evangelism is a mysterious and organic process that nevertheless goes through discernible phases, as people cross thresholds from distrust to trust, from complacency to curiosity, and from meandering to seeking. Everts and Schaupp describe the factors that influence how people shift in their perspectives and become open to the gospel. They provide practical tools to help people enter the kingdom, as well as guidelines for how new believers can live out their Christian faith.

I once was lost

In theory I " knew" people liked rules but it has been hard for me to share boundaries with my non Christian friend, I have a lot of them stuck at threshold 1 out of 5 they trust me but rarely become curious about the Jesus Christ I know and love. This book has encouraged me to be more bold but not brash of course, people do want a God that is strong in his convictions so should his followers also be steadfast in their beliefs. This is any awesome book every kingdom citizen should read!
